Arrangements

His knowledge of music and his mastery of the guitar come together in his beautiful solo guitar arrangements of classic songs. While he always strives to keep as much of the music from the original arrangement as possible - more than you'd think possible for one guitar - he manages to do so in a way which makes the song sound and feel as if it was written as a solo guitar piece.
